Chapter 57 Blind Date Banquet
In fact, in this flower viewing party, flower viewing was secondary. It was just a blind date party held in the name of flower viewing, but everyone only tacitly understood it.
Everyone here knows what it means to make friends.
"That's what Her Royal Highness the Princess said." Mrs. Lin agreed, "Zhu'er will follow."
Mrs. Lin pulled the girl standing behind her over and introduced to Yi Yan: "This is my daughter Lin Zhu. She is about the same age as you. She knows most of her peers in Beijing. Let her take you."
Mrs. Lin did not mean any offense by her words. Lin Zhu had grown up in the capital since she was a child. She knew most of the people in the capital, and had attended many social banquets over the years. On the other hand, Yu Hu and Zheng Pianran, the two of them,
Since Du has been away from the capital for a long time, he is naturally no better than Lin Zhu in this aspect, so it is appropriate for Lin Zhu to take him with him.
After getting Zheng's consent, Lin Zhu took Yu Hu and Zheng Pianran out.
Although Mrs. Lin said that Lin Zhu and Yu Yan were about the same age, Yu Jin knew that this was just a polite comment. The person who was about the same age as Lin Zhu should be Zheng Pianran.
Lin Zhu looks about fifteen years old. She is wearing a pink dress. She has a beautiful appearance and looks cute and charming. However, her temperament is more calm, which neutralizes the playfulness of her appearance. Her every move reveals it.
The dignity of a lady.
Zheng Pianran was very talkative, and Lin Zhu knew etiquette. Zheng Pianran and Lin Zhu were asking and answering questions, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. However, within a short time, Zheng Pianran had almost finished Lin Zhu's information.
Lin Zhu is the daughter of Lin Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. She is fourteen years old, but will be fifteen soon. She has not yet discussed marriage. However, the family has recently started to arrange these things, but they have not found a suitable candidate yet.
Lin Zhu has two direct brothers above him. The eldest brother Lin Yu is married and currently serves as a wine minister in the Imperial Academy. The second brother Lin Ting is studying at Yanmen Academy and returned home from the academy not long ago. Today’s flower viewing party is
are also invited.
"Sister Lin Zhu, what are you doing in front? There are so many people watching, it's so lively."
Lin Zhu followed the direction of Zheng Pianran's finger and saw a high platform not far away. There were many people sitting on it, but most of them were his daughter's family. Under the platform, a fence was erected, and young people in bright clothes were standing there.
A group of people gathered around, discussing something, with high spirits on their faces.
Lin Zhu looked at it for a moment and said clearly: "That's the event venue over there. There is a Cuju court and a polo field. So many people are thinking that there is going to be a competition. Do Miss Zheng and Miss Duan want to go and watch the excitement?"
Although Zheng Pianran had already warmly called Lin Zhu sister, Lin Zhu still had the same attitude towards Zheng Pianran as before. He was neither too close nor too distant. He just maintained the attitude and distance that should be expected in social interactions and called her "Zheng Pianran" in a strict manner.
Miss".
As for Yi Yan, Yi Yan never said a few words from beginning to end, so it couldn't be called familiar. Lin Zhu called Yi Yan "sister" without any friendship, and also called him "Miss Duan".
"elder sister?"
Zheng Pianran tugged on the corner of Yi Yan's sleeve and shook it slightly, her eyes showing anticipation.
Yi Yan smiled gently and said, "Then let's go and join in the fun."
She quietly pulled back the corner of her clothes and nodded to Lin Zhu, "There's Miss Laurin."

"Let's come here today. I'm a little tired. It's boring for you ladies to spend time here with me, an old woman. Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery today, ladies also go to enjoy the flowers and have fun. Don't be restrained."
Everyone said complimentary words such as "The eldest princess is immortal" and "Your Highness is young". They smiled and stood up to leave, leaving in twos and threes. Only Mrs. Zheng sat still, holding a tea cup and sipping gently.
"Li'er, you should go out and have a good look around. Don't keep wandering around me."
"If you like the young master of any family, come back and tell me, I will make the decision for you."
Yanli smiled, shook his head and said softly: "What are you talking about, mother? Li'er has already sworn to the Buddha that he will comb his hair and take care of his mother without marrying in this life. He only wants her to be healthy and live a long life."
"This is something everyone knows, and Li'er is already nineteen years old, so how can we discuss marriage."
The eldest princess looked pleased when she heard Yanli's thoughtful and caring words, but she disagreed, "You are only a nineteen-year-old girl. You are still young, so you can't discuss marriage anywhere."
"You go out for a walk and have a look, mother won't force you."
Having said this, Yanli was helpless, but knew that he should retreat.
It is true that the eldest princess is worried about her marriage, but it is equally true that she wants to talk to Mr. Zheng alone. She has to be sensible.
Yan Li excused himself, made a gesture when leaving, and went out with the maid serving in the house. He also closed the door thoughtfully, creating an absolute space for the eldest princess and Mrs. Zheng.
The look of joy in the eldest princess's eyes became even stronger. She turned to Mrs. Zheng and said, "This child is really filial. He looks more like his own than his own."
The joy in his eyes gradually faded, and instead a hint of concern and worry appeared: "It's just that Li'er is too accepting of death. After making the vow in front of the Buddha, he really combed his hair and never married again. No matter how much I try to persuade him, it's useless."
At this moment, the eldest princess seems to have lost her majesty as a royal princess, and is just like a hardworking mother who is worried about her children. She babbles, "But I am old and don't have many years to live. If I suddenly die one day, Li'er
What should I do if I am alone?"
"Aunt." Mrs. Zheng stepped forward and patted the eldest princess on the shoulder, "You will live a long life."
Zheng said comfortingly.
"Don't be like other people and learn to compliment me."
The eldest princess stretched out her hand and tapped Zheng's forehead, and said angrily: "I am old, but my brain is still good. I know how my body is doing. I don't rely on the blessing of Buddha. What's more, you can't do it with just a few compliments.
It can be reversed.”
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm just worried. I'm afraid that I might still have some worries when I die. Li'er is one of them. I treat Li'er just like you treat Duan Yulin. I really can't worry about it."
Speaking of Duan Qingrong, the eldest princess suddenly asked: "Why didn't Duan Yulin come? He should be of marriageable age."
The flower-appreciation banquet is a flower-appreciation banquet, and it is also a blind date banquet. Fun is fun, but blind date is the ultimate goal.
"My father-in-law can make the final decision on Yu Lin's affairs. Yu Lin has no such idea, and I don't worry about it. I just hope that Yu Lin is healthy. That's good."
The eldest princess smiled and joked: "You really care about your son."
Mrs. Zheng replied: "Just like my aunt has a crush on Yanli, the children I raised will naturally have deep feelings for her."
The eldest princess hummed, "So what do you think about your daughter who is not raising you by your side?"
Zheng was silent for a moment, "Her father-in-law will naturally decide her affairs."
"As long as we live in peace and harmony."
The eldest princess took a slow sip of tea, and did not judge Zheng's different attitudes towards Yu Jin and Duan Qingrong. She asked, "Has her marriage been decided?"
